Today's feature is the second of three new works that I've added to my
website.
Big Root Geranium, in contrast to
yesterday's feature Sycamore, came together fairly quickly. I had just finished the quilting on Sycamore, and was restless and itchy to start something new and different.
I made the cyanotypes in May of this year, when the plants were blooming. I was especially pleased at how well the delicacy of the blossoms showed up in the prints:
The top just fell together in a few days. I used a variety of fabrics, including many that I handpainted, that looked like unlikely combinations at first but really glowed when once I had them arranged.
I posted about this one frequently when it was in progress--click Big Root Geranium at right under "Labels" to track back and read the full story.

This is one of my favorites, Sue. Just when I think you can't possibly make a quilt more beautiful than the previous one, you go ahead and do it.
Someday I'd like to see a retrospective of your work at the Philadelphia M of A. Or MOMA, but Philly is closer.
Hugs,
Mary
